Your New Dubsism College Football Heavyweight Champion – The Pittsburgh Panthers

If you are a regular reader of this blog, you know we’ve got our own means for determining whose on the top of the college football heap. It’s a “king of the hill/boxing” -style approach. In other words, you’re the champ until somebody beats you.

Well, that happened for the third time this year when the Pittsburgh Panthers put a claw through the Miami Hurricanes. While upsets happen all the time in both boxing and for the Dubsism College Football Heavyweight title, it’s pretty rare that the belt sits around the waist of a winner who likely won’t be in a bowl game. It’s so rare we’re still researching if it’s ever happened in the expanded bowl era.

First of all, here’s the list of title bouts since the last time the title changed hands.

Now that we have the look back, looking forward gets interesting since the Panthers are finishing the season at 5-7, a bowl appearance isn’t completely out of the picture. However, Panthers football in the post-season is about as likely as being attacked simultaneously by a hippopotamus and a polar bear in the parking lot of the Wal-Mart in Kearny, Nebraska during a hailstorm on July 4th. That’s why it’s far more likely the next title bout takes place on September 8th, 2018 when Penn State comes to Pittsburgh.

And as we are wont to do whenever the title changes hands, here’s the entire list of championship bouts from the dawn of time…all 1,522 of them. Mega-scroll at your own risk.
